History and nature an ideal mix

Magnificent panorama to be seen absolutely

The belvedere offers a spectacular view of Millau, its viaduct, and the majestic Tarn valley.

Even if it is commonly called Menhir, it is very likely that this block is not really one since nothing suggests that it was erected by man. On the other hand, it was engraved with two crosses as was sometimes done.

The Cirque du Boundoulaou, resulting from the erosion of the Larzac plateau near Millau, is a remarkable site. Its ledges offer magnificent views of the Tarn valley and the Millau viaduct.

The Cirque de Tournemire is an extraordinary site on the southwestern edge of the Causse du Larzac. Erosion has done its work on this limestone plateau from sediments and shells of ancient marine organisms. It is also in the area that a magnificent Plesiosaur skeleton was discovered some forty years ago. Today the local fauna is rather made up of birds of prey, such as the golden eagle.

Beautiful climb by the path of Puech Bourillou to the remains of a medieval castle which dominated the town of Saint-Affrique. A botanical garden has been laid out around the rock, from where there is a superb view of the Sorgues valley.
